Vocabulary 1
Anything that has mass and occupies space and can be measured
Matter
The relationship between the mass and the volume of a substance
Density
The measure of how much three dimensional space is occupied by matter
Volume
state of matter with definite shape and volume, particles are tightly packed together and move ever so slightly
Solid
Transferred by direct contact
Conduction
the resistance of matter to any change in motion
Inertia
How much matter is being pulled with gravity
weight
Matter that is distributed evenly throughout, a type of mixture
Homogeneous
Explanation based on many observations and experiments
Theory
process that transfers large numbers of particles in the same direction in liquid or gas, based on temperature
Convection
The measure of the amount of matter present in a given volume of a substance
Mass
Transfer of electromagnetic waves
Radiation
State of matter that has a definite volume, but takes the shape of its container, particles move freely around
Liquid
A judgment or answer to a problem based on interpreting the results
Conclusion
A scientific guess that is testable based on some facts
Hypothesis
Matter in the mixture is not distributed evenly
Heterogeneous
potential or power of hydrogen
pH
the force that pulls two masses toward each other
gravity
A rule of nature with no exception based on many observations
Law
state of matter with no definite shape or volume, fills all the space that is available, particles are moving extremely rapidly
Gas
can be observed or measured without changing the identity of matter
Physical property
the ability of matter to react with other substances
Radiactivity
Describes a substance based on its ability to change into a new substance with different properties
Chemical property
The ability to dissolve
Solubility
Mixture dissolved in a liquid
solution
